410 ‘Mr. H. E. Andrewes on Oriental Carabide. 
behind, not fractured, eyes moderately prominent, antennz 
reaching middle of elytra, supra-maxillary plates large, 
rather square in front but with angle rounded, mandibles 
small, bordered at base on the outside, striate on the inside. 
Prothorax transverse (4°0x6°0 mm.), disk rather flat, 
sides convex, apex slightly and widely emarginate, sides 
very strongly rounded from apex to basal sinuation ; lateral 
grooves deep, almost interrupted in middle, curved slightly 
inwards at base, bent sharply outwards near apex, median 
line sharply incised, lying at the bottom of a fairly deep 
longitudinal depression; puncturation fairly close, much 
finer than on head, less close between median line and 
lateral grooves, much closer along margins of base and apex. 
Elytra (68x 12-4 mm.) flat, regularly elongate-oval, 
shoulders evident but not prominent, closely aciculate- 
punctate and pubescent, very closely near margin, a raised 
oblique line (outwards and backwards) across shoulder on 
each side, along which are half-a-dozen large setiferous 
pores, a few similar pores along sides and near apex, and a 
row of them, slightly interrupted in middle, in marginal 
channel. 
A good deal larger than S. punctulata, Chaud. (which 
measures from 16°0-18:0 mm. in Jength), but differing 
chiefly in the form of the prothorax, which is wider and 
much more sharply contracted both in front and behind. 
The head is relatively larger, the clypeal suture deeper, anc 
the constriction of the neck shallower; the prothorax, in 
addition to its greater width and more rounded sides, is 
more deeply channelled along the median line, and is less 
closely punctate; the elytra are relatively longer, and also 
less closely punctate.

Siagona pygmea, sp. n. 
Length 8°5 mm. 
Dark red, legs a little lighter, moderately shiny ; head 
(except neck), a longitudinal stripe on each side of the pro- 
thorax, margins and suture of elytra, as also a vague shade 
on the disk,-piceous. Pubescence yellowish, fairly short. 
Apterous. 
Head a little longer than wide (1:7 x 2:1 mm.), small, 
slightly convex, frontal ridges entire, rounded in front, not 
reaching beyond eyes behind, surface moderately and rather
